Pilot project targets a slimmer Division Avenue

City planners and local business owners are hoping that a redesigned Division Avenue will serve as a catalyst for revitalization.

According to excerpts from MLive:

Division Avenue would be a happier, more pleasant street, if it went on a road diet, according to city planners and property owners along downtown's north-south thoroughfare.

They are proposing a one-year pilot project that would slim the five-lane street down to three lanes between Michigan Street on the north to Wealthy Street on the south. With three traffic lanes, the street would get bicycle lanes, on-street parking spaces or wider traffic lanes.
